Great people, great collaborations π¦πΆ
We're collecting records of how the potentially vulnerable Denman Glacier changed before 20th Century retreatπ§π
Great to see PhD student Cari Rand achieve his dream of going to Antarctica!
His research project is reconstructing rates and magnitudes of past ice loss in East Antarctica from geological records πͺ¨ π§
Hear all about our upcoming field work to Denman Glacier on ABC News πΊ
including a remote camp 550 km from the nearest station to collect rocks at -30Β°C π¬
